Its a little bit hacky but there is a good reason. Basically you don't
want -native and -sdk packages in the same directory. If you don't
change that here, they will trample on each other in staging.

Poky's currently using that as a workaround and Poky makes the most
extensive use of -sdk packages the metadata has seen so its better than
the current position in OE.dev. I don't claim its the best solution
though ;-).

Cheers,
